So, I checked out it and "The Passage", and am going to curl up with those for the next week or so. I really enjoy reading this thread, because it's introduced me to authors and books I probably would never have found on my own, most all of which I've enjoyed. Until later.

Deep into the first of the trilology, The Strain, by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. A vampire virus gone epidemic in New York City is the main theme. Interesting, always interesting to see a new twist on vampires. Definitely not sparkly vampires. But I liked the ones in the Passage a bit better. Both are scary and were a threat to humanity as described.

I finished Island by Richard Laymon (my first Laymon). I really enjoyed this and the ending was really great. Dean Koontz does the intro to the book (he was a friend of Richard Laymon) and mentions how depraved Laymon's characters can get. When I was about halfway through, I was thinking that it wasn't so depraved but man did that change There was a lot of humor amongst all the depravity so that helped soften it a little. It was good and very hard to put down.
